Haloperidol exhibits a high affinity for subclass of σ-"opiate" binding sites which have unique anatomic distribution and drug selectivity pattern. These differ from phencyclidine-sensitive σ-receptors are found in many brain areas involved the control movement. 1,3-Di-o-tolylguanidine (DTG), highly selective ligand haloperidol-sensitive σ-receptor, produced marked dystonia rats after micro injection into red nucleus, motor area rich this receptor. another σ-ligand [(+)-SKF 10,047] similar...
σ-1 receptor (S1R) radioligands have the potential to detect and monitor various neurological diseases. Herein we report synthesis, radiofluorination, evaluation of a new S1R ligand 6-(3-fluoropropyl)-3-(2-(azepan-1-yl)ethyl)benzo[d]thiazol-2(3H)-one ([(18)F]FTC-146, [(18)F]13). [(18)F]13 was synthesized by nucleophilic fluorination, affording product with >99% radiochemical purity (RCP) specific activity (SA) 2.6 ± 1.2 Ci/μmol (n = 13) at end synthesis (EOS). Positron emission tomography...
Dextromethorphan is an antitussive with a high margin of safety that has been hypothesized to display rapid-acting antidepressant activity based on pharmacodynamic similarities the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist ketamine. In addition binding NMDA receptors, dextromethorphan binds sigma-1 (σ1) which are believed be protein targets for potential new class medications. The purpose this study was determine whether elicits antidepressant-like effects and involvement σ1 receptors...
